If you or a pet had ingested rat poison, seek medical attention immediately. Do not attempt to use a "home remedy", especially one such as "eating dog food". This could get you or someone you love very hurt, or worse. Depending on the type of rat poison, such as Warfarin, some will induce a Vitamin K deficiency, which prevents blood clotting, and some will calcify the organs and blood vessels. Unless you know exactly what type it is and have a known, verified treatment handy (very unlikely, as for each you would need hypodermic needles and appropriate medication), you should go to an Emergency Room, or take your pet to an Emergency Vet, right away. If curing a case of rat poisoning was as simple as eating dog food, it would pretty much never kill anything - especially dogs. Please, be careful and sensible. Thank you!

Can you give he coffee and milk if the dog swallows rat poison?
Giving a dog coffee and milk after it has already swallowed rat poison is a bad idea - the caffeine in coffee can be dangerous to dogs, and the dog is already suffering from rat poison intoxication. Also, milk is not healthy for dogs - most (like most adult mammals excepting humans) are lactose-intolerant, so you can induce stomach cramps and diarrhea on top of the problems from the rat poison. Your best option is to grab the rat poison container and the dog and head to the vet for examination and treatment.
If a dog eat rat poison does it get a rash?
Your dog may develop a rash several days to a week after ingesting some types of rat poison because it is having a bleeding crisis. One type of rat poison works by eliminating Vitamin K from the body, which keeps the dog from being able to clot its blood. Over time, this will kill the dog (and is how it kills rats, too) unless it is treated by a veterinarian. If you know that your dog recently ate rat poison, get it to the veterinarian immediately - this is a medical emergency.

Would if your pet rat eats rat poison?
Of course; the poison is still in the rat and your dog will ingest this. Since your dog is larger than a rat it won't affect it as much, but lots of dogs will die or get very sick if they eat rat poison by themselves so immediately call your vet. Never let your dog eat dead animals that they haven't killed themselves (don't let them eat if they shouldn't have killed as well as it will encourage them to kill more) and don't let them eat animals that are being poisoned in your area, eg: rats, mice, rabbits, etc.

What if the dog is ok after a day eating rat poison will she still dies?
This will depend upon the type of rat poison. If it is a Vitamin K-inhibiting poision, yes your dog could still die even though she is not showing symptoms of intoxication 24 hours after eating the poison. You can call the ASPCA's toxicology hotline and see if the rat poison your dog ate could still be affecting your dog. This is a common intoxication for pets and the operators should be able to help answer your questions.
